    I might be looking too far in advance but Rasheer Fleming Junior from Saint Joseph.

    At 6’9 with a 7’4 wingspan, 2 way player, athletic and shooting 40% from 3.

    He looks like a great fit to take in the late lottery via PHX to give us some depth behind Jabari and Sengun. Looks like he can play with both of our guys especially with Adams going into FA

    Will winning the championship this year put us out of the Rasheer Fleming sweepstakes?

    Don’t draft another player for a decade. DaDakota did not want Amen Thompson Cam Whitmore nor Reed Sheppard. He’s not going to want draft anyone this year either.

    We need to see how these kids perform in a playoff series before we get ancy to make trades or look for replacements in the draft.

    Sounds better than taking a 6'1 guard at #3

    I must concurr, DD wanted Reed. He said Reed was the next Steph Curry.

    He may not be a good evaluator or know much about basketball but he's open to drafting players.

    I’m only interested in two outcomes with regard to the Rockets and the 2025 NBA draft:

    1). The Suns start losing and we somehow luck into a high lotto pick again and draft one of the top prospects.

    2). The Suns’ pick ends up late lotto or mid-round and we package it as part of a trade for an impact player this offseason.

    What about a combo of packaging Phoenix pick for a high lotto?

    Well the most likely outcome as we’ve seen is stand pat and draft bpa. It’s been working for Stone.

    in this case I think we ought to look at Rasheer Fleming as an option

    No trade it for a future pick(s) such that the Rockets have 10-11 FRPs in the 2027 offseason?

    Rasheer Fleming Jr. definitely sounds interesting! His size and shooting are great assets. If he can contribute defensively and bring that 3-point shot, he'd be a solid addition. Having someone to back up Jabari and Sengun would be smart, especially with Adams heading to free agency.

    He may have said that’s who he wanted to draft if they kept the pick. But I assure you the last 2 drafts he wanted to trade it for a veteran. I remember clearly telling him that now you don’t want to draft a player after you said you didn’t want to the pick that for Whitmore now you are saying he is better than Green.

    Obviously we should wait until DaDakota's told us who he doesn't want most of all -- that guy's our pick.

    RS and expirings plus the Suns 2025 pick for Sexton. He is shooting at 41.6 percentage from the 3 point line.

    It's a slight overpay because of Angie. Sexton is 26, same height as RS and on a 18.15 M contract.

    Stone if you hired somebody to browse Clutchfans. I’d be ok with Rasheer Fleming at 10. I don’t think it’s a reach to get your guy

    give us the terror triplets!

    Measures like Bam Adebayo, has a solid jumper, moves well on both sides, and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

    I like him at #10 if they keep the pick even if it's viewed as a reach.

    I admittedly don’t follow college ball much but really like what I have seen of this kid. Props to OP for calling him out all the way back in January.
